1) Cheeszzzzzy!!! I was standing as still as stone. Hiding behind a picture frame, as tall as a tree. It was only a matter of time before the seeker would find me. My hair was a slinky, crazy and curly. So I tucked it behind my ears so I could peak out through a whole and check if the seeker was close. Time flew by, it was almost 5 p.m.. I was quiet as mouse, kneeling besides my hide out, when I decided I was out of time. Coming out of my crouched position I spotted the seeker.... watching television. Adults never were good at that game.
2) Un-Cheesy!!! Minutes before my speech, I was a ball of nerves. I stood, looking like a victim of murder, a slow painful murder with a knife instead of a gun. I tried to feel my face thinking about how terrified my expression must be, but I was too busy watching the crowd, like a swarm of bees, as they flooded into the room. The room seemed to grow, welcoming anyone who could fit. I cringed as I tensed my tangled fingers out of nervous habit. I looked down at my paper, displaying a picture of Martian Luther King Jr. His eyes were darker than a night with no moon. Would my cliche' speech about Dr. King satisfy the crowd? As new worries entered my head my heart became an inexperienced drummer, pounding away, unaware of the horrid sound it created.
Cliche'... Something overused, usually a phrase or saying. ex 1. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean.
Metaphor... A comparision, relating something to something else. ex 1. Her skin was marble.
Simile... A comparision, relating something using the words like or as. ex 1. She was as bright as a light bulb

Figured you'd be one of the first ones to post the LWD.
Good job

Wow, so many wonderful things to comment on! Looooooved the description of the crowd continuing to welcome as many as would come, and the inexperienced drummer metaphor was refreshingly unique.
Away cliches! Away!
